Are we talking about a toolchain which exclusively supports 32-bit builds
only? If yes, wouldn't it make sense to exclude the whole file relocator64.S?
I think hacking the opcodes into the assembly sources directly to allow
assembling
the assembly source file with a pure 32-bit assembler seems like a crude
workaround
that I wouldn't use in an upstream source tree.
It seems the issue is more that you are trying to build 64-bit code with a
toolchain
which exclusively supports 32-bit code which I'm not sure is something that can
be
officially supported.
